Brooking,was class but him and Devonshire were different kinds of players.For my money Devonshire was the better player to say Brooking was on another level is bollocks.They were both excellent players but your lack of knowledge on the subject is no surprise.Only you could compare two West Ham icons and fuck it up.Wanker.

met Bonzo last night at a charity night for little Isla at EHWMC. just him & Gale but still a great night, with the Rejects also doing a couple of songs. Bill still looks fit enough to play now, what a legend

I think it says it all when the likes of Mark Ward and Frank McAvennie say he was the best player they played with and that was "after" his injury. Remember the 4-0 win at Chelsea and I think Dev was the only player who came off the mud bath of a pitch with his kit still white. 100 million today.

Agree with the sentiments here -- great player could beat defenders with ease on gluepot pitches, quick feet, rode mental tackles,unselfish and scored the odd goal and would be worth a ton of money in today's game and we got him for 5 grand !

As a sixty something I saw him many times, what a player. Am I the only one who had teary eyes watching this and reminiscing about what our team was and what it has become. Sullivan has a lot to answer for.

It's ridiculous how few England caps he got. But when Bobby Robson did pick him, it was as an out and out left winger waiting for the ball to come to him. Not his game at all, of course, he liked to roam, pick the ball up deep, and make those mazy runs.
